Taormina holidays

Sitting high on a hill above the east coast of the Italian island of Sicily, the chic summer resort of Taormina has long been a magnet for the rich, famous, and very good looking. Visitors were coming to Taormina well before the advent of package tourism, following the lead of 19th-century arty types who flocked to the resort for its fantastic light, stunning landscapes, mild weather and liberal attitudes.

Thankfully, you don't have to be rich (or famous, or good looking) to enjoy package holidays to Taormina. The shops, restaurants, beaches and historic attractions of the resort are open to all and there are plenty of cheap Taormina holidays up for grabs.

Start your day with a leisurely stroll along the time worn tiles of the sun-dappled streets of Taormina, calling in for a hit of strong Italian coffee (stand at the bar to do it the local way). Tour the designer boutiques of Corso Umberto, looking out for any passing celebs from behind your sunglasses, before checking out the views from the Greek amphitheatre. A cable car will deliver you to Taormina's beaches and lidos, before a stylish dinner (and a drink or two) under a canopy of stars rounds off the perfect day in this alluring holiday hotspot.
